I started therapy with Jana about a month ago and I am already pleased with the progress I am making. Right now we are working through a life-long struggle. I am happy to finally tackle this with a professional. I feel 100% safe with opening up to Jana and navigating this process together. I highly trust her and appreciate her gentleness through this.

Over many years, I have tried therapist. I stopped trying because they were terrible. They would have you fill out some papers, talk to you 15-20 minutes and charge you for an hour and complete nothing. But not with Jana Wilson. She is wonderful! She is everything I thought therapy should be. I wished I had found her 20 years ago.

She is absolutely amazing! I have had good therapists before but she is above and beyond! I’ve never felt more heard and seen before than I do while we are having a session. I get the reassurance that I need and also the guidance that I need in order to reach my therapy goals! She’s ver professional AND compassionate! I couldn’t ask for a better mentor, counselor, or therapist!! She feels like that one auntie that you just vent to cause the rest of the family is too dysfunctional to talk to haha

Kind, compassionate, and willing to listen to you. She helps address the issues you have at hand and in healthy manner. Instead of just fixating on issue, she helps you follow through with it.

Jana was always super observant and thoughtful during our sessions, in a way that made me feel really safe. I appreciated how she always reminded me to look for the why behind my behaviors. It was so validating to bypass the shame that I would feel about the behaviors I was trying to change with a simple question during our sessions.

So happy to have found Jana to help me navigate the recent loss
of my husband. Jana has a warm demeanor and is very easy
to talk to. She listens attentively and offers helpful insight with
my concerns and feelings. I have every confidence in her abilities to
guide me through the grief process. I would highly recommend her to anyone
that is dealing a loss of a loved one.

In just the three short weeks I have been seeing Jana she has helped me formulate a plan for my mental health to improve, she has given me countless resources and worksheets. She has already helped me so much! Instead of dreading my counseling sessions (which I did from a previous counselor/therapist I had outside of better help) I look forward to our discussions and her unwavering guidance through the really tough things.

I have had two sessions with Dr. Wilson so far and after each one I have come away feeling very fed from the experience. Dr Wilson is attentive and helpful and provides me the space I need to grow. I look forward to every session, even during the hard questions I have to face about myself. Dr Wilson is very valuable

In the incoming patient documents given by Better Help that asks you to describe why you want therapy, I basically poured my heart out. Wrote paragraphs and paragraphs of very specific scenarios and personal circumstances that made me wonder if I was scaring potential therapists away. Jana's been wonderful and seems perfectly suited for the exact situation I find myself in, dealing with long-term mourning, feelings of social isolation, and fallout from religious-related upset in my life. She's been great and I would absolutely recommend her.

I didn't know what to expect with Betterhelp when I joined the platform and was scared that I might not be able to be helped at all but Jana is amazing. She listens well and really cares about what I shared with her and remembered it. All the worksheets I got were beneficial and she always got back to me quickly if I messaged her outside our session times. I understand myself better now and though putting these new practices into reality is hard I know how to change my beliefs and more importantly, I know that I can. I can't thank her enough for all of her help.

Jana has already helped me understand myself and my relationship with myself better after only a few sessions. She’s very easy to talk to and really listens to what I’m saying as well as not saying. I love that I’m getting real life solutions to issues and that I’m encouraged through our sessions and at home work to start building up those skills. There’s a lot she already understands about me (female and ethnic) I don’t have to explain because she already “gets it”. It’s such a relief to finally have someone that sees me for me.
